Houston Rockets DFS Spin
KJ Martin was solid off the bench on Wednesday as he put up 21 points (9-for-13 FGs), five rebounds, one assist and three 3-pointers in a loss to Sacramento. Martin has had a handful of games where he has provided excellent value for fantasy managers, this being one of them. Other than that, he hasn’t been a consistent producer whatsoever. He ranks outside the top-200 in per game value, so he isn’t worth a roster spot. Still, with how little fantasy value has come out of Houston this season, Martin’s performance was noteworthy. However, that shouldn’t mean he needs to be rostered in more than the 9% of league he currently is rostered in. He’s perfectly content on the waiver wire.
Sacramento Kings DFS Spin
Domantas Sabonis dominated the Rockets with 25 points (9-for-12 FGs), 14 rebounds and nine assists in a win on Wednesday. If the playoffs ended today, the Sacramento Kings would be hosting a playoff series. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2006, but they’re more than on their way to returning to postseason basketball. A lot of that is because of how well Sabonis has played. He has provided second round value this season, which means he’s slightly outplayed his ADP of 24.1. He’ll look to post another dominant line in a rematch with the Rockets on Friday.
